4th Anniversary and a Swerve Giveaway!

All Day I Dream About Food turns 4 years old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, little bloggity-blog! And Swerve Sweetener is kindly offering you a chance to win fun prizes to celebrate. Plus 10 of my best low carb, gluten-free cake recipes.

I feel that I should wax poetic, make a big speech about my blog and everything it means to me. How it all started out on a whim, how I never expected anyone to be paying any attention and how amazed I am that I’ve built this baby into a full-time profession. All of which is very true. But more to the point, I am amazed by my readers; their loyalty and love is astonishing and keeps me going, even when times get tough. Every day, I get emails from people telling me that my recipes helped them stick to a healthier, low carb lifestyle. They thought they were destined for boring food and no sweet treats and having to rely on sheer willpower, and anyone who’s ever tried a diet knows how that goes! So I suppose you might say I have made it my life’s mission to turn that idea on its head. It started out with a selfish purpose, since I didn’t want to be stuck with boring food, no sweet treats and relying on sheer willpower to keep diabetes at bay. But it’s turned into so much more than that, a veritable community of people with the same goal: creating healthy and delicious food.

And Swerve Sweetener has generously offered to help me celebrate by donating a prize pack of goodies for you to create lovely low carb goodies at home. 4 of everything, including some of the coveted confectioner’s Swerve that’s been out of stock for a while. YAY! Check it out…

Besides a speech, I have the distinct feeling I should have made my blog a cake. Except my blog doesn’t have a mouth. I have a mouth, my husband has a mouth and my kids have mouths and we can do a cake some serious justice in this house. We ain’t afraid of no cake! But it seems kind of cruel to bake a cake for a blog that can’t eat it. However, in case YOU are in the mood to bake a cake for my blog, or you or someone you know has a birthday coming up, here are 10 of my best low carb cake recipes. All of which are perfect for celebrating a birthday, real or virtual! Any excuse to eat cake, right?

Happy Blog Anniversary Carolyn!! You have such a gift and I am so glad to know you. Can’t wait until we get to meet in person at BlogHer Food! Keep up the great work – you are on a mission that is helping so many.

Congrats, Carolyn! All of us out here living with the restrictions of blood sugar are SOOO appreciative of not only your delicious recipes, but also the research you do and knowledge you have about health and which products are good, etc. You are a trustworthy and adorable source for amazing low carb goodies. Thank you! I need to make the pumpkin cake with brown butter icing. How has this escaped me until now!? And drooling over the chocolate cake with sour cream icing. I need to make some practice cakes for my upcoming 40th bday. 🙂

Happy blog anniversary! I don’t have a website but I love using your recipes as inspiration for cooking/baking. As a Registered Dietitian, I love that you use erythritol in so many recipes – it is my favorite natural sweetener! It is the best alternative in terms of baking characteristics, nutritional profile, and (maybe most importantly) lack of GI upset as with other sugar alcohols due to its absorption mechanism. So, thank you for developing great recipes using this awesome ingredient!

If I were to win the package, I’d definitely try to make low carb cinnamon rolls, maybe even pumpkin cinnamon rolls!

Happy Anniversary!!!! Your website has been such a blessing to me and my loved ones! I truly appreciate the gift and passion that God has blessed you with! Each recipe of yours I’ve tried has been amazing, and I can’t wait to try the next! And now with this incredible giveaway! Thank you so much for your generosity!

I plan on trying the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake that has been calling my name since the day Carolyn posted it. I have a few non low carb friends that are begging to try it as well. 🙂 I love that.

Happy birthday dreamy blog. I love the inspiration to cook (and bake!) low-carb, and I’m thankful that you, Carolyn, go to lots of work to test out quirky ingredients and come up with workable recipes. Thanks Swerve for the prizes. I’ve been waiting for confectioners Swerve for months!

Happy Anniversary! I found your site about 2 months ago and it has changed my low carb journey. I have a sweet tooth and all your recipes are satisifying my cravings without sacrificing the flavor. 🙂 I love Swerve!

I love your blog! We went gluten free with our daughter to try and control her ADHD which is the result of Neurofibromatosis, and your recipes are ones she adores! I would love to try swerve especially that confectioner’s kind!

Happy anniversary!!!
Your recipes are AMAZING! I have made your almond cake several times last week and was already planning on making it today. And my 14 yr old daughters birthday is next Mon and has already requested the chocolate peanut butter layer cake. Which is simply to die for!
Thank you so much for all your hard work!

A very Happy 4th Blogiversary to you, Carolyn, and All Day I Dream About You! Thank you for all you do and all you share with us. This place you’ve built is awesome and loved by soooo many! You are a blessing in my life.

I’m so glad you are here sharing your recipes with the world! Everything I’ve tried has been great. In fact,I will be having some skillet chocolate chip cookie with my coffee this am. So double thanks!

Just made your dark chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for my birthday, today! Oh, man, and is it ever a happy birthday to me. That frosting, Carolyn. I was eating it with a spoon last night. I will surely be making that recipe again!

Congratulations on four years of using your gifts and talents to help so many, me and mine included! What a difference you have made! Thanks for the recipes, the introduction to a healthier way of baking and – not exaggerating here – the restoration of a beloved hobby and essential part of who I am. Thanks!

I love Swerve and have a huge list of “goodies to try” but I think the chocolate eclair cake is at the top of the list as it looks decadent and perhaps a bit challenging. Can’t wait to try the custard.

Chocolate Chip Cookies!! I make a big batch, scoop the dough into little balls of yumminess and freeze them. When I’m cooking dinner at night (or reheating leftovers HA) it’s easy to set a couple out to thaw. By the time dinner’s over we have wonderful fresh hot chocolate chip cookies. Congratulations on the anniversary. Thanks for all you share!

Happy Anniversary of your wonderful blog! Your recipes are amazing…made your coconut chocolate chip cookies again yesterday (and kicking myself because I forgot to bring any to work)! So far I have been liking the Swerve, and plan to make your chocolate cheesecake muffins next!

Happy Anniversary, Carolyn. I love your blog and read everything you post. I always know if it’s a recipe by Carolyn, I can be sure it will be good. Keep up the good work – many more happy anniversaries to you!

Great giveaway to celebrate! Because of your blog, I ordered Swerve and love it. This blog has been a godsend with needing to eat low carb during my pregnancy but still enjoying the occasional sweet treat. 🙂

Congratulations on your 4th year anniversary. This is an amazing site! I have made quite a few of your recipes and recommended this site to everyone that shows any interest in low carb,gluten free or sugar free recipes. My favorite was the pumpkin spice cake. There I learned what whey powder can do for the structure in gluten free baking. Thank you Carolyn for all the wonderful recipes and knowledge that you share! Here’s to another 4 years and beyond!

Happy anniversary! So happy I discovered this blog a few weeks ago after my gestational diabetes decided to stick around too! My husband’s birthday is next week. Think I’m going to have to try making the dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake!

Me again, forgot to say that I want to make the dark chocolate peanut butter cake, and serve it with your updated recipe of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Might be overkill or chocolate peanut butter bliss.

Four already-you age so well! It’s all that clean eating I do believe! I gave up baking for myself and my diabetic mother ages ago and started baking just for the dogs! Sure, the poochies are thrilled with their homemade treats but I missed having a little something too! Thanks to you Carolyn and your amazing website everything’s changed! I can now indulge, guilt free, and have been introduced to so many great ingredients I never would have tried on my own! Here’s to many more birthdays!! Oh, making the Coconut Layer Cake and can’t wait!!

Congrats! And thanks for making this blog. I am having to re-learn everything I know about cooking and eating, so this is very helpful!! I will LOVE to try miking the brownie-cheesecake or peanut butter chocolate cake!

Happy Birthday! You have accomplished so much in a few short years. I have had my eye on the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake and the Vanilla Bean Cupcakes and the Chocolate cake. Yum. Looks so delicious. Wanting maybe to surprise my Dad who is a diabetic with the chocolate peanut butter cake at his birthday in August!! Thanks for all your hard work, creativity and sweetness!!

And thanks for introducing me to Swerve! We love it and use it in all our desserts now. I just made your coconut cake and already my hubby is asking for more…having four bags of sweetener will keep us in cake for a while.

I would use the Swerve set to make most of the coconut recipes in a previous blog. Mmm, first the carrot cup cakes.
Thanks for a great site and all your help.
Carolyn, where in Arizona can you purchase Swerve?

I would make a Texas Sheet cake, a Chocolate Eclair Cake and a Carrot Cake to start. Then I would move on to a Red Velvet Cake, a Spice Cake and the list goes on and on!! I’m gluten-intolerant and diabetic so I was so excited when I started following your Facebook Posts and your Blog!!!!

Happy 4th Anniversary! I bet if you would take those 4 years of recipes and put them in a spiral bound binder and call them something like Carolyn’s Dream Low Carb recipes, you would make a killing, and have to do multiple printings! I too have had nothing but success with your recipes, and the sweet recipes are to die for! Even though I am lactose intolerant and can’t make so many any more, I still come to look. I’m trying to get my mom to go low carb b/c I know it would be so much better for her health, but it’s a slow go. I bet you any $$ that if I were to bake up a few sweet things for her to eat every week, she’d stop going to the grocery store and stocking up on her old sweet junk. I’m always recommending your website as one of my favorite to turn the tide on low carb indulgences. Congratulations again! P.S. Can’t wait to try the root beef float cupcakes!

For Pete sake! Root beef float cupcakes – my mind is going, but my sense of humor is still intact, and I’m not backing down! I just found out that a prescription medicine that I was taking for my thyroid was giving me all these “dairy intolerant,” symptoms and more! So, I’m weaning myself off it for a while, and will try a few more unconventional methods for getting that critter (my thyroid) back under control, and maybe I won’t have that “dairy intolerance,” any more. One can only hope! On the plus side, both my husband and I adore your Coffee Walnut Dacquoise. Before I went low carb, I had taken some baking classes, and was introduced to a Dacquoise, at a local community college and we made this “standard” cake, but this is so much better! And I loved that it was low carb. I’ve even toyed with the idea of making “personal pan” Dacquoise so they could be transported better.

But, I would totally welcome a dairy free option on any sweet good, b/c know there are a lot of folks out there who have this affliction. Thank you again Carolyn, for all you do and are.

This is the first gf/sf site that I came across a couple years ago and where I initially learned about Swerve. I remember how excited I was to come across a sugar substitute that doesn’t give you cancer. The site has been a God send for my autistic daughter with gut issues that I have been trying to heal for so long and she is doing so much better after being gf/sf. Best of all, she can have cupcakes and deserts now instead of just watching the other kids eat theirs!!! Thanks for starting this blog Carolyn, we are so grateful!!!

Love your blog!! I am excited to try out a bunch of your recipes, as my husband was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I already eat low carb, but now we’re both eating low carb and he’s being extremely diligent about every item that he puts in his mouth. Swerve has been a godsend for us so of course we’d love to win!!!

Happy Anniversary Carolyn! Since being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, your blog has been a life saver in the sweets department — my cabinet is chock full of almond flour and Swerve and I made your red velvet cupcakes yesterday!

All those pictures of cake have my mouth watering! It will be a year in April since I decided to try low-carb to lose weight, and then made the choice to try an adopt a more low-carb lifestyle for my family as well. Your Blog has been a real encouragement, and has really helped me find some great low carb foods that the whole family enjoys.

Happy Blog Anniversary! I think you are so talented to be able to convert so many recipes to much healthier alternatives. I’m still trying to get hubby on the low carb train, slowly but surely. Thanks for all your hard work!

Happy Blogversary! I just found you through the WheatBelly Cookbook by William Davis M.D. . Am looking for recipes that will taste good and follow the wheat free lifestyle. If I won I would like to try making some of your recipes for muffins.

I love this product! It has a great taste and I have enjoyed cooking with it! I just made chocolate chip cookies with it and also a double chocolate cheesecake. It was great. Anyway I could do so much with this prize and I look forward to that opportunity!!

Condensed milk, magic cookie bars and dulce de leche. I follow several low carb blogs but honestly, your recipes are the most reliable (and delicious). Before I found you I would make a low carb dessert and be so frustrated. Thanks!

Congrats and thanks for all you do Carolyn!
I was flown out to Tuscan as a brand new Holistic Wellness Coach teaching the Keto diet to a couple. I made 3 of your great recipes and they were a big hit. Even their sugar addicted brother liked them and the 94 year old Mom loved them too! And they were: Dark Chocolate Walnuts, Pumpkin Scones and Blueberry Cheesecake Coffeecake, with Swerve of course!
( Good writing you do as well.)
Love,
Susan

CONGRATS!!!! So so happy for you. You’ve built a wonderful community and have so much to be proud of. And I do hope you go ahead and have a big slice of cake, on behalf of your blog since it can’t enjoy it. You deserve it!
First up on my bake list: That chocolate cake with stout caramel sauce. I might share 😉

Congratulations on your blog-o-versary !! I’ve been reading for 2+ years now and your recipes have definitely helped me keep my body healthy during my time as a college student. I still have your recipe for carrot cake pancakes bookmarked, gonna try and work on making those

Oh, my, what a tantalizing giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try Swerve, but haven’t found any locally so I guess it means ordering online — and soon 😉 Cheesecake is calling my name — so that would be my choice — luscious. cheesecake. oh. yes.

Congrats, Carolyn! I’m one of the many who are SO grateful that you’re here doing what you do every day ♥
The eclair cake is screaming for me to make it! Oh, and as of yesterday, the only place I could find Swerve confectioners sugar (that wasn’t in 50 pound bags), was on Amazon for $15. WHAT?! I’ve still never tried it, but I’d love to!

Happy Blog day and soon-to-be-birthday! That pumpkin spice cake is calling my name! And, now that I’ve stocked my pantry with several bags of Swerve – bought directly from Swerve Canada as it was just about impossible to find it retail here – I shall be one happy little baker for a while! Lovin’ your blog, Carolyn!!

Whoops – forgot to post what I would make first. Tough call… but your Coconut Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins have been on my mind. (Those lonely, neglected berries in the freezer could be put to good use!)

Happy anniversary!! I have been following your blog for a couple of years now and it has helped me stay on track with my low carb lifestyle. Thank you for all you do! I don’t know if I have a favorite recipe, but I love your cinnamon roll biscotti, nanaimo bars, and your lemon creme cake. 🙂

Happy Birthday All Day I Dream About Food
There are a few of us at work that use your recipe’s all the time to keep on track with our new low carb lifestyle. We all like the blondies so now I can not wait to try the newest recipe posted: Peanut butter chocolate chip blondies. thanks so much for helping me keep on track with some very tasteful recipe’s

Happy Blog Anniversary to YOU…
Happy Blog Anniversary to YOU…
Happy Blog Anniversary Dear All Day I Dream About Food…
HAPPY BLOG ANNIVERSARY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
What would I make if I won the Swerve giveaway??? EVERYTHING decadent on your blog….I haven’t tried making any desserts yet, so this would be a perfect opportunity for me to experiment!!!!!!

I can’t even begin to think of what I’d make – everything! My husband doesn’t like stevia and we’re trying to change our eating habits. I know he’ll be happy that we can have some sweetened foods without the stevia taste. 😉

I am behind a few years…but so happy to finally find you! Thank you for contributing so much JOY in my life by learning to bake in a healthy fashion!! Thanks for your help! Looking forward to 4 more years with YOU!

well a very Happy Birthday to this blog. It has been amazing for me you are such an inspiration. I would love to win this contest as I am having a horrible time trying to find Swerve Sweetner it would come in so handy about now. Keep the wonderful recipes coming. Nancy

Wow, BIG congrats on the blogiversary!! I’m so glad I found this blog a few years ago, your recipes are pure genius and inspiration. I’ve loved this blog for years now, and I know without a doubt I will STILL love it in the years to come 🙂

I am undecided between the Chocolate Eclair cake or the Coconut Layer Cake! I haven’t had the chance to try one of your recipes yet but you get so many rave reviews I can’t wait! Happy Anniversary and Thank you for giving me a blog to drool over and not break my Low Carb WOE!

So in the mood to make cake (is it wrong to want it with my coffee??) I’ve never tried Swerve, since I can’t easily find it. I always sub with stevia, but would love to actually make one of these recipes the right way! 🙂

Congratulations Carolyn, you have helped, my hubby and I, keep on the Wheat Belly diet which has dropped my blood pressure from 220/113 to 110/68 and my hubby’s blood sugars to 80’s and 90’s . We tried many of your sweet treats and Swerve has been THE sweetener. No aftertaste and wonderful Carolyn baked goodies. I would make the pumpkin spice cake for myself ( since I don’t like chocolate) and chocolate eclair cake for my hubby( who does).

A thousand, four hundred and sixty birthday wishes for each day of fabulous recipes, information and successes. Keep them coming and here’s to many more days and years ahead. A great big congratulations …..p

Happy Birthday!! I make your stuff all the time, my husband even follows your blog so he can make updated requests on what he wants for dessert. My next recipe I will be making will be Coconut Layer Cake! I mean it is your birthday…so that means I get cake right?? Never tried swerve, so I hope I win!!

Happy anniversary, Carolyn! I would love to try those root beer float cupcakes! I do miss root beer floats!

I have a story to share about Swerve. I was recently in a health foods store (one of two stores in our entire state that the Swerve website lists as selling their products) about an hour from my home, and I attempted to redeem a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for Swerve. The store manager was reluctant to accept the coupon because it expired the next day, and he wouldn’t be able to get it to his coupon redemption facility before the expiration date. I was very disappointed, and he proceeded to call the Swerve company and explain his dilemma. They told him to go ahead and take care of his customer (me!) and they would send him some free product to compensate for his inconvenience. Now, that’s a company I can fully support!

Oh how exciting. Your blog is my absolute favorite… I don’t have to experiment with these recipes..if they are here, I know they work and are awesome! Thank you! My birthday is on the 17th..and I keep eying these cakes…

Happy Birthday! I’m so glad I found your blog. I thought perhaps my days of eating cake were over. I’m a chocoholic as most all of us are. That being said, I would make chocolatey chocolate treats with the Swerve.

Well, happy bloggiversary! I just discovered you about a month ago as I’ve started a ketogenic diet. Your recipes are great and inspiring. And Swerve has been so helpful with being able to do this without feeling like I have to sacrifice all sweets!

Happy Anniversary! I just wanted to let you know that you have given me some great recipes for my granddaughter, age 7, who is diabetic. Most recipes are too old for her tastes or that she wouldn’t like. I can always find something here. Thank you so much and I will continue to watch your site.

congratulations, Carolyn! I discovered you a few months ago and WOW! I’ve made several things from the blog, but I especially loved the chocolate tart with caramel and ganache. I think it was the Nantucket tart? Anyway, I took it to work and it only lasted a few minutes. There are a few diabetics here and they actually wanted seconds. One commented that it was great to be able to have a sweet that wouldn’t do him in! Certainly a testament to your inventive ways with sweets. Keep them coming!

Happy happy birthday to All Day I Dream About Food – you’ve come a long way, baby! My bday is in a few days too and I think I may just have to make myself that scrumptious looking dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake.

Happy Birthday to your fantastic blog! I stumbled on it while looking up some low-carb recipes last fall. How glad I am that I did! I had to go back and read all the archived blog posts, and I do mean all! It felt like I had found a friend. You have a wonderful knack of being so real and down-to-earth with your words and the way you write. The pictures of your food are simply mouth-watering. Pardon me while I wipe up the slobbers. Your blog is the best low-carb blog, hands down! Love it!

I plan on making anything that’s posted on the All day I dream about food website because it is all good! And thanks to Carolyn and swerve, my husband and I are finally able to stick with our low carb diet, my husband has lost enough weight that he is off his metformin with blood sugars and a1c within normal ranges, we are able to have birthday cake and holiday desserts with our children and family again. We are forever in your debt! 🙂

Wow! What a great giveaway! Happy Blogiversary! 😀 I JUST found your blog today – but I have to say, the peanut butter dark chocolate ganache cake you posted today is probably the first thing I’m going to try. Never HEARD of Swerve – but I’m a very-insulin-resistant diabetic, and I’m going to go read all about it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Blog Anniversary, Carolyn! This blog has been such a huge help to me and to my family. It’s been so great to be able to celebrate special occasions with my family with food we can all enjoy- and it’s been even better to be able to feel like I’m not missing out on the simple pleasures of life because of my dietary needs. I’ve said it before, but thank you for all you do! You’re definitely a star in my book! Oh. . .and my son requested the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake for his birthday. It. Was. Amazing!!!

I haven’t used Erythritol, been somewhat a die-hard fan of Xylitol. I’d try making a couple favorite recipes, such as a low-carb chocolate cake and low-carb vanilla ice cream. As far as the kitchen tools… my measuring cups and spoons certainly could use updating.

Happy anniversary! The three layer coconut cake looks delish, but honestly I haven’t tried much low carb baking because I hadn’t bought the Swerve. I would begin by perusing your site for all the yummy desserts we’ve been missing.

oh my gosh! The brownie cheesecake looks PHENOMENAL, so if I was lucky enough to win I’d definitely make that! I am fairly new to the low carb world, and I am so grateful for your blog- your recipes really help me fight my cravings for “regular” food! Happy Blog Birthday!

I try to live a low carb lifestyle, but my true motivation for baking your incredible chocolate goodies is for my T1D 6-year-old granddaughter (diagnosed at three-and-a-half). We all win with your tasty treats!

Happy anniversary and thank you for all your fabulous recipes. I’m making that dark chocolate peanut butter cake for my BFF’s birthday. We had your cinnamon roll coffee cake and he was blown away by how amazing it was. Congratulations!

Happy Anniversary! I am an avid baker and trying very hard to change over to healthy desserts, so I am very excited to try all your recipes, especially the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake. I have been looking for a non-grainy powdered sugar so I can’t wait to try Swerve!

First I want to wish you a Happy Birthday! And what I would do if I won, is bake, bake, bake. I love to bake and have just become gluten free and trying to use natural ingredients for a better health. I have been trying to find Swerve for my baking, but I live in New Jersey and there are not stores close to me that carry it.

In the past, I had given up on the low-carb way of eating because I craved sweets, especially scones and cinnamon rolls. I’m so excited to have learned about your blog, I’m feeling more positive about long term success on keto. So if I won the Swerve pack, I would definitely make the Cinnamon Roll Scones. Or the Almond Flour Cinnamon Rolls. Or maybe the Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake:) Thanks for doing all you do!

Happy Anniversary to the best low carb baker ever (and I really mean that)! You have changed the way I eat and since I can now make sweet treats that are just as tasty if not moreso that sugary ones my husband is now eating low carb as well!

Congratulations and Happy 4th Blog Birthday! Thank you for all your great recipes and educational blogs. Not realizing it was your blogiversary, I spent Fri, Sat, & Sun making low carb breakfast recipes for my Father-in-law who recently commented that there wasn’t much he could eat for breakfast and was tired of eating eggs every day (he had actually skipped breakfast that morning when my husband stopped by – not good for a diabetic!). He loved all of them and Monday morning was happy to have so many choices for breakfast. I had worked with your other, usually dessert recipes that I felt comfortable to just dig in and start cooking without caustiously making only one or two things for him to tryfirst. He has loved all of them!

This is such a great giveaway! My husband can’t have sugar due to blood sugar issues and winning this would be amazing. I would have to make his favorite, banana bread. I’ve never seen sugar free powered sugar though, so I’ll have to find a good recipe to use that in. I’ve missed cooking recipes using that.

Hey Jessica – I found a way to ‘fake’ powdered sugar, and it works. We don’t have Swerve, so I’m using Truvia Baking Blend. To make powdered sugar, you put some corn starch with the sugar, and put it in a food processor. Chop it until it’s fine and resembles powdered sugar. The ratio is 1 tsp corn starch per 1 cup Baking Blend. You can find this on the Truvia website. Hope this helps – but having powdered Swerve would solve both our problems!

Happy Anniversary!! Wow, this is crazy how many followers and readers you have! I just stumbled across your blog when my husband searched for low-carb desserts. He sent me three of your recipes and told me to get started! We don’t have Swerve sweetener around here, so I’ve had to use another erythritol sugar substitute. I feel like I’m missing out! By the way, our favorite so far is the Sea Salt Almond Bark – it is amazing, and I’m not a fan of dark chocolate. Sure hope I’m the big winner! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

Happy anniversary! I am so thankful for the creativity and inspiration you bring to the low carb world. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes almost a year ago and found your blog shortly after my diagnosis. It has seriously been life changing for me! Thank you again!

Happy blog anniversary! I have not had a chance to try any of these recipes because I don’t have any swerve sweetener but if I win I will definitely be making a cake for my husband’s birthday in June. Something chocolate. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂

Hi Carolyn, thank you so much for everything that you do. You are truly an amazing and talented person. If I were to win the giveaway I would love to make your classic chocolate birthday cake with coconut sour cream frosting for my type 1 diabetic niece she absolutely loves chocolate! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to your blog!!

Hello my name is Lashaundra and I’m an addict. I LOVE carbs especially sweets however I changed my entire mindset about food 2 years ago when I lost my triplet daughters. I’m hoping to suppress my PCOS by eating whole foods and low carb and someday have a healthy pregnancy. I was soooo excited when I found your recipes for all the foods I have a love/hate relationship with. They are so simple and practical. Other sites were exhausting just looking at the list of impossible to find ingredients. I have already enjoyed several of your recipes but with swerve sweetener I would definitely make the Classic Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting!

I am making your cupcake recipe RIGHT NOW for my little boys’s 10th birthday…. only making it as a layer cake and using Swerve confectioners for the frosting. We had to go off sugar when he was 3 years old… this is his FIRST cake with “real” birthday frosting. ps: a friend loaned me her layer cake molds. They are a special kind of glass spun silicone, so no greasing and just POPS out like magic. If you get a chance Caroline, check out those molds by a company called Demarle. LOVE your site. You are a godsend to helping keep my kids happy and compliant on this diet plan and healthy blood sugar levels.
